tool breakthrough, the K-PAK ReconstrRx VaporIron.
When used with ReconstRx VaporFuel, the VaporIron
has been shown to decrease hair breakage by 40+ percent,
reduce color loss due to daily shampooing and
thermal styling by 33.5 percent and minimize curl

hair," says Candy Gebhart, senior director of marketing,
Joico/ISO. "At $20 per service, a salon can add
